I took this shot as we were landing in Toronto. The weather was cloudy and foggy. I wish I had gotten a better angle, but I can’t go back and reshoot it.
A cormorant uses its wings to break its flight as it lands on a pond on Hampsted Heath. The wing pattern is almost like a parachute at this point and it even uses it webbed feet to control its stability.

Looking north across the Rainy River into Ontario from Vidas Landing in Koochiching County, Minnesota. This landing was filled with trucks and boat trailers back in March for the fishing opener. Only one boat trailer was in the lot on this day.
Today I did a training walk with Amber then drove to Tony's and he took me to Seven Sisters Country Park car park and we walked to the beach and back and then up the river to Charlton Bottom and onto the South Downs Way and back to the car. It was a really great day the weather was good and there was loads to see so lots of images of wildlife and some groynes.
Thanks to tons of feedback both here and on Classic-Space, I was inspired to change a few things about my old landing platform design:
- Central Elevator was replaced with 3 side elevators
- Each of the three 'wings' of the platform were elongated
- Hole in the middle was covered up
- The system of attaching the coloumns was completely re-done.
View on the photostream to see more in-detail shots. CnC welcomed, as always.
Also called th Pripyat Riverboat. It's a half-sunk landing stage, that earlier stood in the riverside station.
A quick WIP shot of my latest project, and the most ambitious landing gear I've worked on so far.
Still fleshing out the overall length/shape/design of this, but it's obviously something that can fly!
The Historic Cobblestone Landing in Memphis is one of the nation’s largest remaining, intact cobblestone landings. Built in the 1850s, it is located on Riverside Drive between Beale Street and Jefferson. The landing fueled commercial trade in Memphis until the opening of the Beale Street Landing. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 as "Memphis Landing."
Crash Landing
August is a good time to see the cicada killer wasp.
There were a number of the wasps flying around a sandy soil field with short grass here at Rondeau
One dropped her cicada, either missing the burrow or because it was tired from fighting a strong head wind.
She stung the cicada again to make sure it wasn’t going anywhere while she tried for lift off.
It had great difficulty getting airborne again and crashed head first with her heavy load several times.
Eventually it climbed the leg of a picnic table to get some height. It worked after three tries but it flew off in the direction it had come from.
Sphecius speciosus
Females dig nest burrows in well-drained soil, often forming large nesting aggregations, and provision nest cells with cicadas they capture and paralyze in nearby trees.
When the males appear in mid or late June, they usually display very aggressive behaviour that strikes fear into people’s hearts. However, as in other stinging wasps, males of the cicada killer do not have a stinger, and hence they are harmful.
